You said my skin was soft
But your touch is softer
I want to lie down in an empty bed and fill your empty arms
After 5 long years I finally walked out of one door and straight into yours
How badly I want to call this door home
Take your heavy heart and let me carry all it’s weight on my shoulders
For it was you who
Opened up my heart again
It was you
Who made me feel something again
It was you
Who made me forget all the things I didn’t want to remember
So when you say my skin is soft
Remember
It’s because your touch was softer
Can you feel my heart racing?

Over thinking is creating a disaster that wasn’t there in the first place.
It consumes not just your mind, but your body too.
Ever since I saw her face,
I barely even think about you.
But now I’m creating a disaster that wasn’t there in the first place,
For two nights, we cuddled and we kissed,
She won’t even text me now and all my mind does is race.

Like an unfinished coloring page, your life is not over
It is not done, you are not finished.

But your name is just another love poem I continue struggling to write
  Nov 2018 Jennifer

I have these moments of epiphany.
It is while I watch myself
Wake up and not kiss the soil.

The days I don’t remember
What color the sky was
Or how I treated my mother.

Each time I fly and I realize
There is nothing more breathtaking
Then seeing her from above.

Powerful, Resilient, Art, Oppressed, Female.
That is why I fall in love with the Earth,
She reminds me of all the women I’ve ever loved
That I do not deserve.

You don’t utter passionate words and send love letters,
But silence and empty responses.
And now you leave me wondering,
What little answers you have to speak.
What walls do you have up and why?
Can we talk for a while, over some coffee?
There’s just so much more to you than there seems.
“words can sting like anything but silence breaks the heart“
